Rescue Mission!

Put a capsule into a weird orbit around the planet, then construct a recovery craft that can intercept and decelerate it safely into the atmosphere.

Will they be adding other planets? Things like Mars?

Yes. That is the plan. I think they may do other solar systems too but I'm not sure on that one.

I saw this thread when it was created, havent even logged onto PSU I have been playing literally every waking moment, lol. This is soooo addicting. My co-workers love the demo and want to pirate the full version, but I'm making them support the devs, lol. This is so much simple fun!! I'll post up some screen captures later. I am going to DL a bunch of mods now.

It's only 15 bucks

Pics or it never happened!

I've landed on the moon a few times, I've recently been trying to land larger and larger things on the moon lol.

I also rendezvoused with one of my other space crafts in orbit around the planet which seems 100x harder than landing on the moon, at least for me!

Unfortunately I couldn't attach myself to it lol, but after reading in the forums I guess people found out a way to use the landing gear as a claw to hold onto things. And SO I BUILT THIS!(Below)

Everything I used is in the demo except the landing gear which seems to only be in the paid version.

Lol that is so badass. Way to go Elude.

Elude · 2012-04-22, 02:44 PM

Thanks zealot! Though my claw never did work, mainly because I lost sense of direction because the camera isn't fixed in the crafts general direction even when you turn on chase mode.

Left becomes right, up becomes down, down becomes left! It's madness, they really need a way to fix the camera in the direction of your ship.

Anyway here are a few more pic's of my rendezvous with the other space craft, one of which is me attempting to use the claw on a smaller craft but failing!

You can see both orbits of the two crafts in this picture are right on top of each other, making it look like there is only one there lol. (Below)

The next challenge I would like to attempt (if they don't add more planets soon) is to put a craft in it's own orbit around the sun and then try to rendezvous with it using another craft! This would be like traveling to another planet but unlike a planet you'd have no gravitational assist as you got closer lol.

A nose cam of some sort is needed.

BUGGER · 2012-04-23, 11:31 PM

Mark it, I'll put one of those fuel lines on the top side of my craft.

I'd like a gauge to measure distance to actual paydirt. Knowing i'm 3000ft in the air would help if the ground I was heading towards wasn't a 3050ft mountain...
